During the reign of Charles III of Spain, three major botanical expeditions were sent to the New World; Pavón and Hipólito Ruiz López were the botanists for the first of these expeditions, to Peru and Chile from 1777 to 1788.
The genus Pavonia was named in his honor by his contemporary, Spanish botanist Antonio José Cavanilles — plants with the specific epithet of pavonii also commemorate his name.
